What Can I do to Help the Muscle Relax Around the Implant so that It Will Settle?

There really isn't too much that you can do to get the muscle to finally "give" other than massage and massage...I give my patients a little valium after surgery, taken with some motrin as well....but it does take time!!! It's usually 3 weeks before they even start to move...

It typically takes about 3 to 4 months until your breasts settle. By that time the bottom portion of your breasts will fill out becoming more natural appearance. This phenomenon is called drop and fluff. Please follow your surgeon's advice on how to enhance your results. A tensor bandage wrapped around the top portion of your breasts can help but asymmetry and odd shaped breasts in the days shortly after surgery is common. Keep an eye on your results then talk to your surgeon if you find that after four months, they still don't look good.  

In general, it takes three months for everything to settle down after a breast augmentation.  When the implants are under the muscle, the muscle needs to relax and stretch with the implant.  In some women this is quick, but in others it can take quite awhile.  Once you have been cleared to massage by your surgeon, then I would massage 2-3 times a day to help relax the tissues.  I hope this helps.
